I speedrunned the fairies' game!

Chapter 43, Section 42: The Second Match! The Grand Slam (7 words)
After swallowing all the remaining Swiftness Pills.

Chen Ran stepped out of the passageway.

The full view of the ultimate treasure trove, the "Twin Palaces of Nirvana," suddenly appeared.

Looking into the distance, at the far end of the palace, a colossal divine tree, so large it occupies the entire dome, stands majestically.

An old monk in white robes lay on the tree canopy, his eyes closed.

Upon closer inspection, countless twisted vines grew on the old monk's body, and these vines were connected to the sacred tree, making him look both evil and strange.

"Old Deng, still pretending?"

Chen Ran arrived at the tree, held the knife hilt at an angle with one hand, and slashed down with the knife!

A deep blue, piercing light of the Blade of Destruction roared forth!

"Click——"

The trunk of the divine tree split open with a cut half a meter long, the tree trembled, and golden leaves fell with a rustling sound.

"Amitabha."

The old monk remained unmoved, but black energy seeped from between his clasped hands: "Benefactor, you have made it this far, you must be a prodigy of this era. Would you like to hear me tell you the origin of this 'Bodhi Yin-Yang Divine Tree'?"

"Enough talk, Xuan Bei. Let's have a one-on-one fight. I'm in a hurry, so please do me a favor."

Chen Ran frowned, his expression impatient.

In his previous life in the game, he couldn't use Ctrl+C during the main storyline cutscenes, which left him helpless.

They've already brought this to the real world and are going to tolerate your bad behavior?
“I am Xuanbei, yet I am not Xuanbei.”

Xuanbei's voice carried the weariness of a thousand years, his gaze fixed on the roots of the divine tree: "In the early days of chaos, three races vied for supremacy: the gods, demons, and humans."

"Still whining and blabbing?"

Chen Ran's true energy suddenly exploded, and a hazy blue light ball condensed in his left palm, which then "whooshed" away!

"This, this is-"

"The Cihang Sword Sect's 'Qingxuan Crossing-Arc Technique'!"

Xuan Bei finally opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking sharply: "You, you are a man, how can you cultivate the Cihang Saintess's techniques!"

He was enveloped in golden light with Buddhist runes, trying to form a protective shield to block it, but the azure light grazed past his body and slammed solidly into the center of the tree canopy!

"Boom!"

The sacred tree trembled violently, and golden diamonds fell from the roof of the temple.

Xuan Bei suddenly coughed up blood, staining his white robe red: "How do you know that the tree is my true form!"

"Your true form? Right now, you're nothing more than a soul servant guarding 'His' home."

Chen Ran sneered and raised the Demon-Slaying Blade in his hand again: "Here, the next strike will be against the tree trunk—"

"Shuzi is arrogant!"

The kind-faced patriarch of Jintan Temple instantly twisted, his monk's robes tore apart inch by inch, and his withered body swelled up to ten zhang tall as if inflated!

Immediately afterwards, dark golden demonic patterns cracked on his bluish-black skin, and six muscular arms suddenly sprouted from his back. His third vertical eye on his forehead opened, spitting out scarlet, evil light, and black saliva dripped from between his blue face and fangs—

It was a "Demon Form of Asura"!
"Your Holiness, this boy is rude and disrespectful! Please allow this old servant to execute him for you!"

"Please grant Xuanbei the power of true immortality!"

The demon shouted loudly, his three vertical pupils constantly emanating intense black energy, and the vines behind him seemed to be summoned by something, violently piercing through his body!

A chilling, malevolent aura surged from the tree trunk, flowing along the vines and pouring into his demonic body!

"Tsk tsk, starting at stage two right away?"
"So you're not going to act anymore, huh?"

Chen Ran gripped the short blade at his waist, his gaze calm and composed.

"Thump, thump! Thump!"

The demonic form of Xuanbei, incarnate as a demon, approached step by step.

Like a Titan walking among the mountains, every step he took made the hall tremble.

A terrifying sense of oppression filled the entire hall.

Chen Ran let his vision be gradually swallowed up by the enormous demonic shadow.

He was calculating methodically in his mind:

“I am bound by the ‘Concentric Thread’ of the Yin-Yang Crossing Tribulation Technique, and I currently share cultivation with Xi Yue, being at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Xuan Bei’s remnant soul, on the other hand, is at the early stage of Golden Core. Although the two seem to be only one level apart, their energy essence is as vast as heaven and earth.”

"In other words, even with the Xuanwu Divine Cauldron as a backup, I only have a maximum of two chances. No, no, I must complete it in one life!"

"came back."

"They're all back!"

"This is a feeling I haven't had in a long time."

The terrifying shadow drew closer, and Chen Ran gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, a strange smile playing on his lips.

"Thirty zhang."

"Twenty zhang (approximately 33 meters)."

"Fifteen feet!"

"Boom!"

Just as in the game, the demonic figure suddenly stopped fifteen feet away, its eyes, as big as copper bells, staring at Chen Ran, its roar sending rubble flying.

"You brat! You have a path to paradise but choose not to take it, while you've come to hell on your own accord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic figure suddenly raised his right arm, dark purple Sanskrit patterns forming in his palm. Amidst the swirling black wind, a Buddha's palm shadow, over ten feet in size, took shape—

It was his killing move, "Demon-like Brahma Palm," which combined demonic energy!
"Come on!"

Chen Ran's eyes burned with passion.

Of course he knew that the BOSS was about to start its ranged attack!

"Anything that stands in my way will be destroyed!"

The terrifying Asura Vajra, with eyes bulging out of their sockets, roared and raised his right palm, hurling a Demonic Brahma Palm towards the ant-like youth on the ground!
"Left."

Chen Ran, ever the friendly one, used the Cihang Sword Sect's "Nine Star Lotus Picking Steps" and flashed to the left.

laugh.

Two afterimages swept past.

He brushed past the palm strike.

"you"

The demon's eyes, as big as copper bells, widened in surprise. With a roar, it raised its right arm and grabbed again!
"laugh!"

"right."

The young man dodged again, leaving a trail of afterimages.

"laugh!"

Another palm strike came.

"Still on the right."

The young man dodged to the side yet again.

Enraged, the Demonic Image unleashed a dozen more palm strikes, but—

All of them were dodged by the opponent without suffering any damage!

"No, it wasn't just a simple dodge!"

"You little rascal, it seems you've anticipated my palm strikes, always moving aside a split second in advance!"

"A person like you who blasphemes against the Buddha's teachings deserves to fall into the Avici Hell and never be reborn!"

The Vajra Demon was completely enraged.

His body was wreaking havoc with demonic energy, and the vines behind him were frantically piercing into the divine tree, drawing in extraterrestrial evil energy!

In the blink of an eye, his body grew another two zhang, and his eight arms simultaneously formed palm shadows, with dark purple Brahma patterns flowing in his palms, as if he was about to attack from both sides!

"This time—let's see where you run to this time!"

Eight Buddha palm shadows, drawn simultaneously from all eight directions!

The speed is now 70% faster than before!
"So what about the Cihang Sword Sect's movement techniques? Even the 'Drunken Immortal Gazing at the Moon Step' of Mount Shu cannot escape the palm of the True Buddha!"

Looking at the countless palm shadows he had unleashed in an instant, the Vajra Demon grinned, his fangs bared, and he burst into laughter, clearly the victor with victory in his grasp.

However, the next moment.

Its smile suddenly froze!
The white-clad youth in the distance neither dodged nor evaded; his figure staggered and spun around as if he were drunk.

Incredibly, he narrowly escaped the barrage of palm strikes from an incredibly tricky angle!

What enraged Master Xuanbei the most was—

After escaping this calamity, the young man casually tossed his hair, looking as carefree and unrestrained as if he were toying with ants!
That's incredibly insulting!
Tolerable or unbearable!
"Whoosh-"

Black wind spewed from the demon's enormous nostrils, and its killing intent reached its peak. It adjusted its inner energy, preparing for a full-force attack.

But I didn't expect——

The white-clad figure in the distance, carrying a short sword that emitted a gray, ominous light, leaped towards him!

"A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator dares to approach me? Are you insane!?"

King Kong was both shocked and furious. He raised his eight arms and hurled them forcefully into the air!

But I didn't expect it.

The ant-sized youth didn't leap towards his face, but instead landed at his feet—

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Chen Ran's eyes were icy cold, and his figure was as fast as lightning. He moved back and forth between the legs of the Asura Giant, and his hand swiftly brought down his knife!
With each back and forth, a cold, sharp blade flashed out!
At the same time, he continuously unleashed Cihang Saintess's exclusive technique, "Qingxuan Du'e Jue," from his left palm!
The blade light intertwined with the azure spiritual light, and wherever it touched, the giant's skin tore and flesh cracked, revealing its hideous and twisted black internal organs!

"Damn, Xi Yue's mana is amazing! It's like she has an inexhaustible supply of true energy! No wonder she's the strongest healer!"

Chen Ran's heart was filled with emotion.

All of a sudden.

He treated the fairy he had just connected with with even more respect.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Damn brat! You came prepared! Who are you! Who are you?!"

The giant howled in pain, his face contorted, and his eight thick arms, shrouded in black energy, slammed into the ground!
However, the young man seemed to have anticipated his attack once again. He moved swiftly through the air with lotus-like steps, already one step ahead, and circled around to his back!
"and many more!"

"You want to kill me—"

Finally realizing what was happening, the Asura Demon's pupils widened to their maximum, and his hideous and evil giant face was instantly filled with fear!

He instinctively raised his uppermost arm and covered the back of his neck!

But it was still too late—

The young man behind him, like a white-clad grim reaper, stepped through the air and landed on his shoulder!
"You seemed to be having a lot of fun just now."

Chen Ran's eyes flashed with lightning speed as he gripped the "Breaking Calamity Blade" tightly with both hands and slashed down at the back of the demon's neck!
next moment!
"Stab!"

A crisp sound rang out!
The main vine connecting the demon's neck to the divine tree was completely severed!
"boom!"

The enormous Asura demon knelt on both knees, its body radiating demonic energy, and its form shrank at a visible speed!

Suddenly.

The purplish-black evil aura faded away, and a faint golden Buddhist light shone forth.

The phantom of an old monk in white robes sat cross-legged under a tree.

He was the founder of Jintan Temple before he fell into demonic possession.

"It's over, Xuanbei."

"Hand over the Burning Technique and the Ice Technique, or I'll have to take action."

"You were a respectable person in your lifetime."

Chen Ran sheathed his sword, bypassed his opponent, and arrived at the enormous "Bodhi Yin-Yang Tree".

Don't say it.

Seeing this thing in the real world even gave him a bit of megalophobia.

Chen Ran's gaze burned with fervor. He took a deep breath, preparing to climb down and pluck the coveted fruit at the top—

A deep Buddhist chant resounded:

"Amitabha."

"Donor, please wait."

Xuanbei clasped his hands together and said, "This old monk now knows that you have come here specifically for the Yin-Yang Twin Soul Fruit on this tree. But if this old monk may be so bold as to ask you a question—"

"Can you bear the consequences?"

"Cause and effect?" Chen Ran sneered, "I fought my way here, breaking through all the barriers to sever your immortality and shatter your delusions. This is cause and effect." Xuan Bei's expression darkened, but he remained silent.

Anyway, the old monk would eventually die, so Chen Ran didn't bother with him. He leaped up and searched for his "dream fruit" among a pile of colorful fruits.

Below came Xuan Bei's monologue, which was exactly the same as the game's plot:

"To be honest, this tree was not planted by me; it is an ancient relic."

"In the past, when the three races were vying for supremacy, the gods, demons and humans used their own blood essence to condense the 'Demon-Suppressing Bodhi' to seal the extraterrestrial demons and suppress the demon rift under the tree. I only discovered the secret realm when the demonic energy in the tree was fluctuating, so I used my remnant soul to guard this place and used the array patterns of the secret realm to suppress the rift."

"You bald monk, you're a man of few words."

Chen Ran spat down: "Back then, it was clearly your own greed that led you to try to break free from the shackles of heaven and earth, to cultivate both Buddhism and Taoism, and to single-handedly lead Buddhism to rise again and regain control of the righteous path in Zhongzhou. That's why you were bewitched by the lingering thoughts of the Heavenly Demon and became its henchman. Weren't the Xiao family grandmother, who was at the third level of the Delusion Realm, and the Buddhist warrior at the second level of the Anger Realm, all nourishment that you tricked into coming here?"

"you"

Xuan Bei opened his eyes in astonishment, "Who exactly are you, benefactor?"

Chen Ran didn't bother to reply, but the next moment, his eyes lit up!
At the tip of the branch, a bud-shaped fruit, interwoven with red gold and dark blue, gleams with a faint two-tone halo.

This is precisely the Bodhi Two Principles of Path and Fruition.

He reached out and plucked it, then leaped back to the ground.

"You actually found it!"

Xuanbei gazed at the fruit, his eyes swirling with jealousy and resentment. "Aren't you afraid of being corrupted by the Heavenly Demon while holding it? Aren't you afraid of repeating my mistakes?"

"Old dog, we're not the same."

Chen Ran deliberately approached the old monk and took a big bite of the Yin-Yang Fruit, which the monk could never obtain in his entire life.

"Huffing and puffing."

"Mmm, crunchy, tastes like chicken. Master, would you like a bite? Oh, I forgot, you've become a soul servant, you can't handle it, sigh."

"You, benefactor..."

Xuanbei's ethereal body shook violently, almost collapsing.

“You should understand,”

Chen Ran swallowed the fruit, and a warm sensation rose in his dantian. Yin and Yang Qi were quietly swirling, and the rudimentary form of the dual Dao foundation was gradually becoming clear. "You have too many distracting thoughts, your greed is not pure enough, and your evil is not thorough enough, which is why the Heavenly Demon took advantage of you. What I want has been pure from the very beginning."

Xuanbei's lips trembled: "And what is your purpose, benefactor? This old monk would like to hear how righteous your motives can be!"

Chen Ran swallowed the last piece of fruit, shook his hand, and said calmly:
"Since the beginning of time, with the fall of the three races, it's time for this long period of vacancy on the Star Throne to come to an end—"

"From this day forward, I will stand at the top."

Xuanbei was struck dumb, his ethereal body frozen in place, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long silence, he sighed, clasped his hands together, and rose to his feet. Suddenly, the futon beneath him floated up, revealing two ancient and simple books—

The five seal characters "Nine Netherworld Profound Ice Classic" on the ice-blue cover gleamed with a cold light.

The gold-covered "Nine Yang Burning Heaven Technique" exudes scorching spiritual power.

"This is the cultivation method you requested."

Xuanbei's voice carried a hint of weariness, "But benefactor, the moment you take the Dao Fruit, the Bodhi Tree will wither, and the Heavenly Demon Rift will temporarily widen—they will soon return to the mortal realm."

Stop trying to shift the blame.

Chen Ran reached out and stored the two cultivation manuals into the Xuanwu Cauldron. His gaze swept over the faintly visible black shadow at the center of the tree trunk, his eyes grave. "You know better than anyone that even without our intrusion, this ten-thousand-year-old seal would have already loosened. They will emerge sooner or later; there's no stopping them, only..."

"Kill them again!"

Chen Ran gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, his eyes cold and sharp.

As if intimidated by his murderous aura, the ghostly shadow that had been hiding in the tree stump temporarily disappeared.

"Kill him again? What do you mean, benefactor?" Xuan Bei's eyes widened in astonishment, his breath growing weaker and more rapid.

Chen Ran said, "The stalemate between the righteous and demonic paths that has lasted for ten thousand years is about to change because of their entry into the fray—this battle is now inevitable."

Xuan Bei nodded solemnly and then asked, "So, do you think the human race will win?"

"God knows."

Chen Ran shrugged: "However, before that day arrives, we will receive a significant boost, something unprecedented in the history of Kyushu—a truly magnificent era."

He was naturally referring to the "Great Era of Dragons and Phoenixes" that would descend after the "Immortal Ceremony".

Now that I'm truly in this world, upon reflection, I realize that the old man from Mount Shu spent his later years in solitude.

It is also great.

"Benefactor, you have now consumed the Yin-Yang Fruit and established a dual foundation, making you a person of destiny unlike any other in history!"

Tears streamed down Xuanbei's face as he bowed deeply, saying, "With great power comes great responsibility. Please lead the righteous path to defeat the evil!"

No.

Are you treating me like Batman's CPU?
Chen Ran rolled his eyes at the other person.

At this time.

"call out--"

The faint light that had been attached to his vest all the way suddenly lit up.

Followed by.

A soft, urgent female voice called out, "Young master! Are you in here?"

"Benefactor, who is the girl outside?" Xuan Bei asked in surprise, his expression faltering.

"none of your business."

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, Old Deng, hurry up and pass away."

"As for what we just discussed—I can only tell you that if I have the time before I ascend to immortality, I wouldn't mind killing a few more extraterrestrial demons."

"In that case—on behalf of all the people, this old monk thanks you, young master!"

Xuanbei bowed down.

His form transformed into relics and Buddha light, slowly dissipating.

Chen Ran followed the "concentric lines" on his body and saw a beautiful, delicate face full of concern at the other end.

"Son!"

Tears welled up in Xiao Xiyue's eyes, and she rushed over.

"Don't worry, Xiyue, I'm fine."

Chen Ran chuckled and pulled the fairy's slender body into his arms.

"As you can see, it's all over."

Chen Ran gently stroked the fairy's hair bun and said softly, "Thanks to the help of your Yin-Yang Crossing Tribulation True Technique, I have obtained what I wanted. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Xi Yue."

As he spoke, he looked at the concentric line connecting the two of them, a line visible only to Daoist partners:
"Just now, you poured your primordial energy into me and helped me, didn't you?"

Just now, when he was fighting Xuanbei's demonic form.

The latter, with all eight arms, wielded "Demon Image Burning the Sky" with all his might, and he did not actually dodge it completely.

At that moment, he was preparing to use the Xuanwu Cauldron to withstand the two palm shadows, but unexpectedly, a powerful surge of primordial true energy suddenly emanated from the concentric lines on his body, helping him to neutralize them.

As expected of the strongest support in the game, rank T0.

"Hmm," Xiao Xiyue said, tilting her head up in his arms. "After I woke up in the passageway, I couldn't find you, young master. I remembered that we had cultivated the Yin-Yang Crossing the Calamity Technique together, so I tried to sense you with the concentric thread. When I sensed that you were in danger, I quickly sent my true energy to you."

"Yes, thanks to you this time, Xiyue."

Chen Ran once again pulled the fairy's warm face into his chest.

He certainly wouldn't say something as unromantic as "It's actually okay if you don't take action."

"Hey, I'm glad I could help you, young master!"

Xiao Xianzi's eyes were still filled with tears, but at this moment, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she let out a soft "hehe" laugh.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Because I'm happy.

Xiao Xiyue wrapped her arms around her beloved's neck, and said shyly, "Senior Sister Cen often says that once a man gets a girl, he... won't cherish her as much."

"Quite the opposite."

Chen Ran said, "Previously, you always played tricks on me at crucial moments. If I were to be gentle and caring towards you before our relationship is established, wouldn't that be presumptuous, self-degrading, and no different from a lapdog on the street?"

"what."

Xiao Xiyue nodded hesitantly, "So that's how it is, so that's what you think, young master."

indeed.

If her beloved were to relentlessly pursue her and fawn over her without any dignity, like the disciples or saints of powerful families, it would only make her feel uncomfortable.

"That's not right either."

"I'm most afraid of being pestered by men, but for some reason, I don't dislike Mr. Chen at first glance. Why is that?"

Fairy Xiyue thought to herself.

Suddenly, her cherry lips were sealed by something.

"Young master, what do you think?"

Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, Xiao Xiyue's cheeks instantly turned red.

This time, however, she took the initiative to reach out and reciprocate.

She tried her best to suppress her shame and, in accordance with her beloved's preferences, shyly raised one of her white-stockinged legs.
the other side.

Chen Ran enjoyed Xi Yue Fairy's clumsy yet gentle wet kisses, while supporting her long, soft, and fair legs, his heart was also being cleansed!

"I'll go."

"Whether in the game or in real life, the most innocent-looking Fairy Xiao actually took the initiative to lift her leg!"

"Oh, so it was me who adjusted it? Never mind then."

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Crossing the Calamity Technique, the Bodhi Yin-Yang Fruit, and the previously ingested Grade 7 precious pill, the Vajra Yang Cauldron Pill, three supreme and wondrous powers, perfectly merged within the dantian.

Chen Ran felt his muscles bulging, and a primal power within him was about to burst forth.

He even felt like he could pierce through the sky!

"Fairy."

Chen Ran said softly, "The Pisces barrier in the passageway just now was isolated from the entire secret realm, except for you and me. And... we still have a little time."

"Ah. Ah?" Xiao Xiyue was slightly taken aback.

Inside the corridor.

The two were talking.

In a fit of emotion, the noble and pure-hearted Fairy Xiyue removed her high-heeled jade shoes, leaving her bare feet to tread directly on the filthy obsidian slab.

"Xi Yue, can you do it like I said? (Sigh)"

Chen Ran wrapped his arms around Xi Yue Fairy's waist from behind and whispered.

"I"

Xiao Xiyue's cheeks flushed crimson, and she covered her lips with her hands. Even though her love for the young man was at its peak, she still firmly shook her head: "I'm sorry, Young Master Xiyue entered Cihang Sword Sect at the age of eight. I studied Taoist scriptures and worshipped the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady. My master and the elders have also given me strict instructions to cultivate my pure Taoist heart with strict rules and regulations. It is absolutely impossible for me to utter such a shameful thing."

she said as she spoke.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, she raised her sweat-drenched face, closed her beautiful eyes, and said, "If... if you like that kind of... girl, you may go and find her. I will never... never blame you in the slightest."

"I'm sorry," Chen Ran said softly.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's just men's perverse sense of humor.

I long to have a sweet romance with a pure and aloof fairy.

He also wanted her to become depraved in front of him, to turn into...
Chen Ran leaned against Xiao Xianzi's swan-like white neck and whispered, "Don't worry, I won't mention this again."

"Young master, please don't be angry. Xiyue is just..."

Hearing her beloved's gentle tone, Xiao Xiyue felt a pang of pity. Covering her burning face, she weakly said, "Actually... Xiyue could do a second thing for you, young master. I think I could..."

As she spoke, she forced herself to suppress her embarrassment and opened her cherry-like mouth wide.

Cangming Saintess sat cross-legged on the ground, guarding the white-clad female sword immortal who had fallen into sword silence, her gaze empty as she stared at the fiery magma below.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

The next moment, she seemed to sense something.

Those dreamy, peach-blossom-like eyes suddenly turned cold and sharp.

And behind her.

People from all walks of life arrived.

Looking at each other.

The war is about to start.
